it's not our main front there. well, it's not that it's completely calm there, but it's relatively calm there with a relatively conditional strand. let's say who is where our main front, that is, kharkiv raisin . well, in the direction of kharkiv, ukrainian troops pushed back the enemy for 40 km. the latest events are that the defense forces of ukraine liberated the settlements of cherkassy tyshki, russian tyshki, rubizhne and bayrak. it is necessary to knock out the staves of the stern and actually there will already be a border and besides well, it is clear that the ukrainian troops are advancing to the main such artery of supply of the russian troops in the izyum direction

. - first, to what extent is this advance to vovchansk, kupyansk, if it does happen, it will, well, let's say so, will it affect the situation in general in a bad way, the situation of the russian troops, will it be able to affect it, and secondly, will it provide security at all? kharkiv from at least artillery shelling well, let's suppose oleksandr of you is the same as, for example, odesa. he is the same as mykolaiv, they are, and what's more, the same as any city now on the territory of ukraine. they will never be safe from the defeat of russian e-e means yes, the means of destruction is primarily a rocket launcher, so if we are talking

about artillery means of destruction, then this is mykolaiv. it will never be safe until the kherson region and kherson are liberated, of course, and so is kharkiv. and this is the greatest danger kharkiv sumy chernihiv is, god willing, we will see how the situation will be in belarus. but why? because they are located directly on the border with the russian federation and the russian federation even has artillery that is capable of hitting cities from its own territory. of ukraine directly, kharkiv is jet artillery and the same thing, the same hurricane between so and so. and of course, with barrel artillery it is a completely different issue, but still, jet artillery will be quite dangerous for kharkiv quite a long time ago i i am a supporter, i understand why ukraine has not yet

used its potential to destroy the russian military infrastructure on the territory of the russian federation, but i am still a supporter of the fact that ukraine, one way or another, the armed forces of ukraine began to destroy the military infrastructure on the territory of the russian federation right now, because in we have all the possibilities for this along the entire five- hundred-kilometer border, which we control , firstly, and secondly, regarding the release, so really now, as i said, until the end of this week, i i am sure that to the north and north-east of kharkov, we will liberate almost all the territories that exist, i would say even more in the north-east direction, some units of the armed forces of ukraine are already on the border with the russian federation. regarding the further development of the situation, i do not i can say with confidence about the future of kupyansk, but the fact that directly

in vovchansk is already an object of liberation for the near future is a fact, but when vovchansk is liberated, where will the russians flee the occupiers already have to think, uh, count on the fact that where they will go from the raisin, for example, their battalion-tactical groups will be withdrawn - this is a rather large number of personnel and equipment through other population points, well, this is also a question if uh, it will be directly released , released and vovchansk is already an artillery bombardment directly, and the route that will pass through kupyansk well, this is again losses , that is, the situation is quite a stalemate especially for the russian occupiers, who are now concentrated almost most of its potential is precisely in the izyum

direction, precisely in the izyum district, but this izyum district, which looks quite advantageous tactically, strategically, this is directly the achilles heel of the russian occupiers, and this is my problem in this, they strategically think tactically at the level of the soviet union and at the level of the strategy of the soviet union, that is, with a rather outdated strategy, they seized some strategically or tactically important population center, they control it, but what to do next when they are facing a completely different strategy of defense , for example, chornobayivka has already demonstrated this raisin is demonstrating even now, we were talking about the island of snakes, this is the same story , strategically and tactically, it is a very important island,

for example, they control it, you will do this, you can only there to destroy their own equipment because it is in the direct line of sight. in the kharkov area, the enemy has seven battle tanks, and on the other hand, there are two btgs in the raisin area, this is the issue of kharkiv, there are three battalions of the tactical group in the kharkiv area, the raisin area is a completely different story in any case, this is such a significant difference, or is it already a question for viktor, or is this difference in forces , which may indicate that the russians actually understand that they will not hold out there and are not

going to do this for them, that is, well, let's say, well, this is not the main thing well, no, not the main direction in any case, well, it is possible that they even retreat altogether and simply protect their communications from the actual supply of the raisin group, and others, again, strengthen the raisin areas with other forces. next, that is, it is possible that they have such a strategy now, they are no longer dispersed as before in what case do we need everything that they somehow supply us - in fact , let us supply it now it can become a problem precisely because if the ukrainian troops really come back they pose a threat to kupyansk but for the arteries that pass through it will begin to actually destroy the railway structure, the raisin group, then we all exist together, they will simply remain without er, without any possibility

to develop a minor advance, to exist at all, because if the vovchansky group is in fact, what is it going cautiously so far actually it was more about how to get these people out of the raisin until they just ended up there in the cauldron, that's the basics of military science when you try to sharpen someone 's tracks so that you yourself are not surrounded now this is precisely what is happening, that is why they are actively throwing the btg, trying to defend themselves, trying to prevent the ukrainians from focusing on donetsk, and it is very difficult to force it. now they can't actively involve the raisin group in particular, they tried, their mistake at first was that they did it in two, well, in fact, according to energy plans, the first plan is the so-called big one - this entourage of lysych in svarodonetsk is the second plan - this is a

big ring of clarification of the whole game of the grouping of the ukrainian who, it becomes a game of grouping, well, one russian grouping came without from the zaporizhzhia region and others from er, with raisin, there somewhere they would er-er closed well, this is absolutely unrealistic before the war in poland, and that is why they are now trying somehow to implement at least the elements of a small plan, namely a small entourage, but lysychansk , north donets and the world, but in this situation, ukrainian troops began to enter them actively they have begun to attack and ukrainian successes in the kharkiv region are already threatening them, in fact, the possibility of encirclement, that is why we are now, that is all and must be. everyone is balancing, they hope that they will somehow hold in the kharkiv region and have time to surround severodonetsk . and we will keep the road, well, now in north donetsk until we cut their communications in

or in the north in izyum as the first option or in the kupyan district as the second option. in fact, these options are not mutually exclusive, so now it is like this the situation is unstable precisely in that operational area. well, we still have bad news, and one way or another, the russians managed to force the siversky donetsk people, apparently they had not one crossing there, but several - one was bombed, or maybe two. it's hard to say there now the situation is quite dynamic, nevertheless, they crossed over , some forces crossed over and to say that it’s just like that, you know, well, you can’t do such a light and ironic situation, because it’s still a threatening story. we can wait there because it is currently the largest, the most critical point in that point and currently it is not possible to suppress it with fire and

somehow it is not possible to knock out the russians there, that is, they are there, they are going there, they are entrenched and they are developing an offensive in that direction, well, again after all, it is not for nothing that the russian army is called a horde in russia in general , because they really march like that horde, and again , what we saw, for example, on february 24, and in the kyiv and chernihiv regions and sumy, and we saw a fairly large influx directly of the russian occupiers who were walking walking walking walking so-and-so to kyiv yes and how it all ended it was a calculation it was close not even close it was more than 35 battalions of tactical groups that were concentrated directly in the direction of kyiv and what happened next and then they again after all,

they were exhausted, they were exhausted, and in order to directly occupy kyiv so that they stormed it, they needed about 30 battalions of tactical groups; they did not have these battalions of tactical groups in order to storm kyiv, but these 35 battalion of tactical groups that were concentrated in the chernihiv and kyiv regions, they were calculated only to make a breakthrough offensive, let's say from the territory of belarus, and you get the territory before they approach them, and reinforcements, but there were no reinforcements , are 30 or 40 btgr, russia does not have this resource for the assault on kiev, so they had to flee a month later, fleeing under the counteroffensive of the armed forces of

ukraine, what we see now on the donbas bridgehead, what we see is that these a-a battalions of the tactical group that were near kyiv in chernihiv, sumy, kyiv, and partially still in the poltava regions, they were exhausted, and they were, let's say, demoralized. and they were physically exhausted, psychologically exhausted, but they were regrouped directly at the donbas bridgehead in order to take part in this epic battle for donbas, what's next, so now they have temporary attention, and i didn't even call it an advantage. why? because, again, the russian federation primarily uses the strategy and tactics of the soviet union and if we, uh, turn again to this stratification in ukraine on the donbas bridgehead, where we are now seeing some success, temporary success over the

course of a month, this epic battle for donbas is a temporary success only in some directions, nothing more, but they are exhausted, first of all, this is a war of attrition, the exhaustion of their battalion, their tactical groups, their resources, their technical human resources, and even what they bring from the most remote regions of the russian federation from ussuriysk, even and again, this fifth, that the military army of the russian federation, which today, even according to the characteristics of the russian federation, is not the second class, it is even the third class of army units, and therefore yes. from hostilities precisely in the hands of the armed forces of ukraine, there is a retreat

from some opposition, it has a strategic and tactical, balanced, some sense, and again, popasna, there were a lot of conversations about popasna, but popasna, for the first time, it was completely destroyed, it was destroyed the settlement is already there, it can be considered that it is no longer there, there is nothing to defend there, there are no defensive positions that could be held, but what is most important is the green point for it, here is this second army of the world, and it has been conducting combat operations for almost more than a month, that is, what it's like this it's even a small city it's not even a medium-sized city it's a small settlement in the future if they advance it's only directly to them in some damage damage to their human capabilities so i

think it's temporary temporary how they get kharkiv oblast, the oblast, yes, uh, temporarily. they get kherson oblast and zaporizhzhia oblast temporarily, they are somewhere in some directions on the donbass bridgehead, and they have some kind of promotion, it’s all temporary. well, nevertheless, look, uh, they have now reached siverskoe and, in principle, are leaving uh, well, in the rear of north donetsk, the lysichansk group has such an irony, there is a threat, and they are even talking about the fact that they may have to withdraw from north donetsk, on the other hand, they gave and took carefully, one way or another gained an advantage there, and how likely it is, well, that's up to viktor, for example, that they will be able, for example, with a blow from popasnaya or maybe even from avdiyivka, to connect with the forces that are now moving from the north to lysychansk and

severodonetsk, how likely is it at all probably not probably we won't guess, but simply , well, there is such a threat, in principle there is, of course, there is such a threat and this is called the only thing that is possible now, er, well, except er, of course, mariupol, if theoretically we will be able to present it to the russians as a victory and theoretically, it can really change in the war not in our favor, well, at least, or more or less without changes in the future. in fact, for this you need to keep er, keep in touch with time, exactly bakhmut, with the same kramatorsk, even if you somehow make a serious enough non-expression by the russians in order for you actually, they could not close in a ring, because if they are closed, it is there

in reality, it will simply be a second mariupol, but one in every sense of the word, a second mariupol. and this cannot be allowed, and again they gain complete control over the luhansk region, that is, one region will be completely occupied, but again, they do not want to allow this to happen in it is possible to counteract this. first, it is necessary to maintain these communications, and secondly, to develop them as a consequence from the kharkiv direction so that the russian group simply loses the opportunity to carry out these strikes and in general to carry out active the offensive administrators must simply destroy the supplies and grind everything that will rest on us in the next line, it is difficult because for them this is the main direction now they will throw everything into the performance of this task, this task is of an operational nature, it does not need huge resources which they first collected because they collected these resources for the task as much

as possible. this was their task, no, no, it means that we broke them, and now they will try to do at least something simple for you within the limits of this task, so that later to use this environment, well, it's always again a classic russian scheme that we constantly follow, because we have such a mentality. excuse me, this is to take a certain number of ukrainian military hostages and start shaking the situation in ukraine, well , this is the ilovaisk scheme - this is the debaltsev scheme, this is the donetsk airport scheme, this is the mariupol scheme and ours starts running like chickens to the lesson every time, keeping their heads, looking for the culprits in this, russia is obvious in this, tell that the traitors have passed and this is the letter of the plans, this is this, it’s just that it’s already happened it was agreed, let’s give it, i don’t know, one piece each to kyiv and the russian auction. this fits very well, so they will now try to score the latest code, and our task is to prevent them from doing this

if they finally break down there. the offensive actions of this company on the russian side will end on this, in my opinion, you can try to retreat under kherson, but there is already under kherson well, there will be 20, some chernobaiv one again, that's why, viktor, you just touched it enough, i would say difficult but very important topic, since you and i are all involved in the informational resistance of only three, now , you know, this is a very difficult moment in our in general, we are all in the military plan, because now this help with heavy weapons has not yet had time to arrive in full, if we wanted yes, and already in our ukrainian forces of the dry well, first of all, the best personnel units, they were greatly exhausted , that is, they fought hard battles for all these two and a half months, it cannot but be difficult, and i see that now the russian has strengthened very much

they can't take epso by storm, they are trying to force our military to surrender, and this is the military 's epso, which is aimed at, er, provoking surrender , provoking panic, i see it. moreover, i see it because literally three days before may 9 from there was an interview with colonel baranyuk, who commanded the 36th brigade of the marines. on april 12, he was still captured. look, on april 12, he and his chief of staff were captured, only now they were shown. and they were shown with enough interesting, you know, the messages from which it sounds so something must be conceded, the second is that the food supplies are not like that, they somehow do not shoot like that, and the main message that the russians are trying to send now is that it is only

dangerous to surrender to some nationalists because they are there, i do not feel sorry for them, but all the other soldiers who are not nationalists they have such a gentle attitude in captivity. look at this, here are the military personnel, we communicate with them normally. and you know this very well, well, i see it very actively and it must be explained. it seems to me and to our military that this is a deliberate shaking of this everything and counter it in the first place well, alexander, what methods of countermeasures can there be in general? well, what should we say? what do we have, what should we pay attention to in our military and our civilians ? the armed forces are now the armed forces of ukraine, they are winning, this is a fact - this should be understood by every citizen of ukraine that with regard to such appeals , you have very well emphasized

the fact that they were captured not yet in may not in march, but almost more than a month and a half from the moment they were taken prisoner, but only now these videos were shown by the propaganda media, why exactly it is also important to pay attention to what a person in captivity is, it is moral, psychological and physical pressure every day, every hour, every minute who will break under this pressure, be it some military serviceman or special forces, it doesn't matter whether they are officers or privates, again, this is a pressure that no one will be able to resist. therefore, it is necessary to understand what our prisoners are demonstrating

the russian mass media, which talk about hundreds of thousands of dead, about the fact that the government betrayed the armed forces of ukraine and something else, this is again an informational and psychological operation that is the result of this pressure again. when you find yourself in captivity, i say so every polo this ukrainian prisoner doesn't need yourself if you find yourself in captivity you don't need yourself uh, again, to make some kind of hero, so i agree to everything that they offer you, because then you will be mocked to the point that you will break down , so talk to the camera and such and other. so it will be use, but our mass media must explain that this is the work of the russian information

machine directly, this military, military-criminal propaganda machine, this is, first of all, and secondly, we must understand precisely such statements directly, that is, this is pressure from which, well, no one will be able to withstand well, i paid attention to the fact that , for example, the lamb, in general, you know very well in such fragments, they gave it and gave it more comments . even well, it is more aimed at the americans, which is not surprising, because they tried to show them that they do not know how to use javelins, which is very funny because the pentagon says that they have never seen such an effective use of javelins. when 112 fires, 100 hit the target, if we talk about tanks like this it was destroyed in 2.5 months.

in fact, this is confirmed by photos and videos. i am not talking about the data of the general staff of the armed forces of the ukrainian armed forces, but specifically about photos and videos. the facts were that 344 russian tanks were destroyed and 63 russian tanks were damaged. 2.5 months. that is, we we don't know how to use anti-tank means, it's funny, this is the largest number of destroyed tanks in the entire history of the existence of such a thing, let's say so , so, so, so, so, let's call it the russian federation, so, so, i have a proposal, in fact, we just need to adopt a policy or a policy to study very loudly in public , and here is such a policy, which, for example, peeps er, just to be one with the president here, he likes to write videos. let it come out, record a video to which we will say ukrainian military if you are captured. i officially allow and encourage you to carry any

a walk i officially understand, we all understand that you will not have a tenth of a cent, we allow you, you do not play the hero, but simply carry anything adults, we have to declare it at the state level, we just have to say it through the mouth of the president or someone just in order to do this dog is ineffective , uncle, people absolutely understand that a person in captivity is nothing at all, any person in captivity does not represent anything and will say everything, absolutely everything that is necessary, it is simply necessary to explain it to civilians so that it actually becomes a general strategy so that everyone understood that what these people say should not be taken seriously so that this informational and psychological operation, at least on our population, no longer works because our population knows that a person is carrying out the president's order carries a freckle, but there is one more such problem that i consider well , it is also quite open for the russian hibsushniks, this is the fact that now the

tero units are coming to the front, which were not ready for the fact that they will be fired upon. they are not on the first line, i must say honestly. they are on the second or third line, but they fly there to play. i don't i know, of course, who told them that the gradas would not fly there. but it turned out that some part of the people were not ready for this, and the second is that they have no leaders and no officers who know how to organize the occupation and everything else, and, well, already these videos that they record are used a lot by russian propaganda and here, too, you need to act in reality . and here, too, you need to explain to people, first of all, honestly , that you are entering a war that does not have the characteristics of sitting quietly. in the trenches, it is a completely different story, that is, you need to prepare, you need to directly to say about it that this is a war with artillery is at least honestly serious i absolutely understand nemo and the situations when there were atheros in the theater well, in contrast

to the voluntary formation of local and aron are actually a component of the armed forces of ukraine, they are i apologize for hoping that they er their knee is being fired at, that this is an absolute exception. and why did they, i apologize, go to the army then, and for what purpose, in order to sip coffee at the roadblock, and pick fruit in armor, or to ask for volunteers for a motor ship? well, for why did you go to the army if you are absolutely not prepared for the fact that you can be shot, that you will be there with you somewhere, shells can fly in, it was not necessary to go there for the season. to listen to those who are sorry because it's somehow at least strange, but it's a question for them, it's precisely this unit, that is, apparently, there are simply no normal leaders, that's what i want to say, it's true, it's true, but if there is no person, it's not what uh-uh

experience uh- it is purely statistically not very likely there is not a single person who cannot. i apologize for reading the instructions so that i could open the statute, well, seriously, well , people do not speak ukrainian, this is some hungarian village, i don’t know, from under the coast , i have to explain hungarian to them, well, again, these are very strange excuses - this is very strange stories, it has already started to remind me. i apologize, well , the least favorite moments of the 14th year, when some battalions, well, actually, the defense, i won’t say to my native region, tried to escape from the front on foot, exposing themselves just to the ilovaisk flank and then some journalists from the same region, i won't point a finger, told them that they were actually patriots. well, that's just how they are
